Employer matching
Same gift. Twice the sight.
Thousands of employers match their employees' charitable gifts dollar for dollar, and some double or triple them. Billions in matching funds go unclaimed every year simply because nobody asks. Five minutes in your HR portal can turn your $100 scholarship into two children in school.
Free money for the mission
It is part of your benefits
A matching gift program is compensation you have already earned. Claiming it costs you nothing but a form.
Volunteer hours count too
Many companies also make "dollars for doers" grants for hours you volunteer. A packing day with OEBB can come with a check from your employer.
We do the paperwork with you
Our volunteers verify every match request quickly. Most programs just need our legal name, EIN and address, all below.
A $100 gift plus a 1:1 match sends two children to school for a year. Some employers make it three.
Claim your match in three steps
- 1
Make your gift, or find the receipt from a gift made in the last year: most programs match retroactively.

How do I know if my employer matches?
Check your HR portal or benefits guide, or simply ask HR "do we match charitable donations?". Large employers in tech, banking, energy and healthcare almost always do.
My gift was months ago. Is it too late?
Usually not. Most programs accept requests up to a year after the gift, and some until tax season. It is always worth submitting.
OEBB volunteers are happy to help, but we are not tax or legal advisors. Please confirm the specifics of your situation with yours.
Every route leads to the same place: a child who can see and learn.
